The intention is to "...develop a model of socio-economic activity that can estimate the total worth of the country’s GA community. The same approach will be taken to estimate the capacity and activity of the overall network, to determine what problems, if any, there are with the current geographical distribution of flying sites and how these relate to the support individual aerodromes receive from their local planning authorities."

The pilot's survey questionaire is now available on-line at the GAAC web site and all qualified general aviation pilots living in the UK who have not already completed the paper based questionaire are encouraged to complete the on-line version.
